Thank you so much for this channel.... I’ve seen a lot of neurologists and I’ve got to be honest when I say there are few “specialists” for this disease. I’m getting more info from you than from anyone else. Thank you thank you xoxo

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO DOC... The best and most informative videos on MS on KZfaq... Being newly diagnosed I've learned alot from you. I also tell my family and friends to check your channel out so they can better understand MS. Greatly appreciated Dr. Thank you very much.

I just wanted to say that I am so grateful for these videos. My neurologist is terrific, but you are excellent at explaining theory. Just thanks so much!

Dr. B I'm loving the new intro. Your reaction to it makes me smile every morning. Thank you for starting my day off right!! I need a ringtone, lol.

Great video again. You give me hope with your explanation.

The pool is the best explanation I've ever seen to explain functional reserve! Thanks!

Thank you for the video! Had a good chuckle about your coffee break. The pool analogy is great, best way I have had explained. Also the disability scale and the outcome over the coming years... colors... etc. Thank you. I wish that is shown to you at your first diagnosis, might give people hope that ‘one can be their best self’ living with this disease. Thanks again! Wish you all the best with your new practice!

Hi Dr B, excellent and informative video, thank you! I am so grateful for you and your channel 😊

As always, thanks for another amazing and informative video! 👍

No questions. You've made everything crystal clear. Feeling enlightened and empowered. Thanks! Happy Chanukah from Jerusalem. 💪 🕎🔥

Excellent, I am a consultant general neurologist and I following your videos for up dating knowledge as well as your immense experience.

Good Morning Dr. B! My question is about the EDSS method. Isn’t it time for an updated method? This one doesn’t seem to take into account the disability from fatigue or cognitive issues.

Meant to write, you are a blessing

Thank you for video on disease progression. It’s a scary topic for us all. Doug coffee in hand from lyndhurst.

I prefer the leaky boat model - we are losing water due to holes (lesions) as we patch and bail by taking our meds, exercising and eating a proper diet, never stopping.

Thank you for the awesome and highly informative video as always. I wished you lived in Pensacola, Florida.

Great video Dr B! Recently I've been trying to tell people about the functional reserve, this video makes it easier to understand I will be showing this to family and friends!

Hi Dr Boster. I have a favor to ask. Your intro and coffee break music are 200% louder than your voice. This means that my ears are blasted suddenly, as I need to have the volume up high to fear your voice. Could you reduce the volume gap by lowering the levels in the music? My ears and headphones would be forever grateful. This was a very helpful lecture. It answered many questions I’ve had since diagnosis and gives me a good framework for discussions with my neurologist. As always, I am so grateful that you dedicate so much time in your busy life to educate the world about MS. your videos have also helped my spouse understand things better and has reduced his fear as well.

Thanks for yet another great video!

Hello Dr Boster, I always love your videos, they are really informative, not all of us have the privilege of such eloquent neurologists! I know you like feedback and I wanted to let you know that I personally love your new intro music, but I’m not so happy with the presentation on this particular video as it makes me feel dizzy (which I do quite a lot anyway) - hope you don’t mind me saying this!

The PDSS was really informative. I had never seen it before. Could you do a video where you discuss it in more detail? Thanks!

Thank you for information Dr. Boster. [Question] Why is the same dosing used for both for example 50 kg patient and 90 kg patient (except Mavenclad), does body weight not matter in MS medications?

I discovered I was misdiagnosed as having MS. I have Leukodystrophy. I am not sure which type I have, I’m too old to have the most common types. I next see my neurologist in August. I see Dr. Pace in Owasso, Michigan.

Great video as always 💕😊

Thank you very much! So interesting and you made it understandable.

Excellent video as always! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Dr Boster, where could a person get a copy of the chart you referenced in todays video relating to MS progression. All you videos are excellent, however today you addressed a topic that is on every MS patients mind.

I MISSED YOU DR.BOSTON

Another great one Dr B. Perhaps you could do one on that chart you shared. It interested me but not sure I fully understood it. Thanks from 🇬🇧

How can you not comment on that intro! 🤟👏👏 lol i love it

Hi thank you for your videos. What DMT seems to be the best for delaying MS progression in your opinion ?

Dr. Boster, I’m starting to see some of these stalagmites breach my surface. I’m on, Tysabri. Is it to be expected I will still see activity or should I be completely symptom free?

I could not see the PDSS on my iPad and I cannot locate the same scale you were discussing. Do you have a link to this scale so I can follow along? Thank you again for posting these videos.

Thank you for this video! Question - Is there ever an appropriate time to stop disease modifying therapy? In your opinion, what is the best available DMT to slow progression?

Reshare

Dr.Boster my question is, can you flip flop on ms levels? For several years I was told I had spms then my new neuro said that I have rrms. Thanks for your help

If you have PPMS from a young age (very early 20’s) is the progression worse as you are living with it for longer and will you end up bed bound?

Dr. I only have 3 lesion in my brain .. largest one disappeared and NO symptoms i was only Dx 2 years now I'm on tecfidera.. I saw a natural dr who suggested I ased if I could have guillain barre syndrome vs MS .. do you think doing this would be a waste of time

I really wish that I lived in Ohio! I have one doctor that did a brain MRI on me and he said get to a neurologist fast .A neurologist that says “Why do you want to have MS?” Talk about depressed! My question is about gadolinium. The second time that it was given to me to enhance an MRI, I developed the worst migraine that I have ever had within a minute or two. Since then, I won’t let a radiologist use it. Now with all the doctors confusing me so much, I think that I have to use it. Is there some way to use gadolinium and not have a really bad reaction to it?

Hello Dr. Waiting dx at 61 yrs old very scared of what's ahead . Is there meds available for my age group ?

Great video as always! I have two questions if I may be so bold 😆 1. If spasticity is sometimes very helpful in keeping you walking with a weak leg because it helps support it, how do you determine if treating the spasticity would be helpful or harmful to walking? 2. Why aren’t there more neurologists like you?!

how about the more i do in a day the worse i feel...dizzy lose coordinstion.

Dr. B - I love yourvideos. Thank you. Question - can you have symptoms or worsening of symptoms without a change on MRI (my MRIs have bern 3.0 tesla). I understand you can have MRI changes without identifiable symptoms but I'm wondering about the opposite. Thank you.

Hi Dr. I'm 19yrs old and newly diagnosed with RRMS and I'm on dimethyl fumarate so my question is will I get any sort of disability in upcoming years as doctors were saying I have a mild type of ms

I have ppms and very much hate drugs but I receive ocrevus treatments and am interested in trying drugs to help with spasticity and fatigue, do u generally recommend them? Are any of them somewhat effective?

Hi Aaron, the stalactite analogy really helps but leaves me with a concern for the future. I'm 49, was dx at 25 and live in the UK. My MRI shows lots of outer brain lesions (in addition to the deeper lesions). My daily functioning is ok and I'm relatively mobile. My question is, as time goes on are the symptoms I've experienced in the past - most of which have now subsided - likely to resurface. I'm doing all I can to maintain my reserve, but I stopped DMTs and am on the cusp of moving into secondary progressive. DMTs in SPMS is more tricky plus I had a malignancy in 2014 ... how should I best protect my reserve? What might I expect as the reserve drops?

Willl everyone change from RRMS TO PPMS or SPMS eventually or can you stay RRMS indefinite for life? Thanks Dr. B!

Back awhile ago, you talked about pts who fizzle out during mth 5 on Ocrevus. OMGoodness...that is ME! But, I thought you said it was in the pkging. I can't find written info. My Dr is opposed & I have orig MCR w/ a supplement. In order to get it paid for, I need some source in writing. HELP, please! Thx!

What treatment is available for MS related vertigo?

On my first MRI my neurologist said it was very obvious i had MS...does this mean that before my symptoms became noticeable (14 yrs old), i was having active demyelination prior and didn’t know?? Or did all my lesions pop up at once??

❤️

hi, is there a name for that finger tapping test?
